“Dream Giver” by Tyler Carter

Tyler Carter produced and directed this beautiful short at BYU’s Center for Animation. It features a sublime use of 2D and CG techniques with spectacular effects animation. The story is good too. For a behind the scenes making-of video, click here.

Absolutely beautiful work! One of the best student films I’ve ever seen

Stunning work! Saw this receive the student emmy in Hollywood last March. Really nice film and great direction

Everything I’ve seen out of BYU’s program impresses the heck out of me. That’s wrong on my part because it is obviously just a great program with a lot of talented folks going through it and running it.

Cool.
Congrats on it all.

Pretty much leaves you speechless. What a team and what a fully realized effort.

I’ve been anxious to see this for a while now, and it’s better than I even anticipated! What a beautiful combination of 2D and 3D animation. This doesn’t even look like a student film.

Thanks for posting this Jerry. What a gem.

2D and 3D complete each other, I’d say this is one of the best efforts in this sense I’ve ever seen.

Certainly not a small production by any stretch of the word. Beautiful work & very well developed. And just look at some of the amazing facilities & recourses that BYU provides. I certainly hope to see more great stuff come out of there.

Some other facilities that appear to be really ramping up with some fantastic student collab projects of recent are the Irish School of Animation at Ballyfermot College, who’ve established Giant Creative. As well as The Animation Workshop in Denmark!
